"Update All Extensions" Nice! It was a huge PITA before to close and reopen the editor once for every extension that had to be updated. One of my last big gripes about VSC, gone.
There's also an `extensions.autoUpdate` which lets you not worry about it again.

I wish visual studio code can bring in typings automatically based on different filetypes, or at least get those popular ones ready-to-go.
Anyone use VS Code for Ruby/Rails? Equal or better than Atom/Sublime? I switched from sublime to atom recently but atom is slow (I know I know) and VS Code seems well regarded so willing to give it a try.
Atom/Sublime? Those aren't even in the same category.

It's a common fallacy to associate quality with price. Generally yes, but not always. Sublime Text certainly isn't 70 dollars better than Atom or VS Code.

I was about to try one of these fancy new browser based editors again, but now I'm confused. Shouldn't opening a directory be O(1)? I just opened the chromium trunk in sublime and it took 0.2 seconds, regardless of whether it was currently running or not. Why would one ever use a text editor that has perceptible latency when doing everyday tasks? 3 seconds isn't even latency, it's a freeze tbh.
I feel we are comparing apple to oranges here: sublime (a text editor) will simply list files & directories in the top level folder when you add a folder to the projects while an IDE (thinking mostly of Eclipse here, but I assume other IDEs aren't that different) will parse every single file to build ASTs, symbol lookup tables and all these things that you either love or cannot stand.
